I've owned a few Roams over the years, and they're definitely a fun board, especially for jibbing rails and sliders or for relaxed spin and press sessions behind the boat. They're actually pretty darn durable from what I've seen when it comes to obstacles. I'll caution you though, a few of the breaks that I've had have all been due to back edge catches off spins. If you like doing kicker things at the park, I may suggest you steer away from the Roam. Unless it's a smooth downside of the wake, the landings on the Roam are BRUTAL. From what I saw, the Vigilante has the same construction, and looks to the the next evolution of the Roam. Durabilty note: My good friend Road his on the sands of Iraq and that sucker is still holding together strong. haha
